Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to carry out.

This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. Learn about the …

Neurons receive excitatory or inhibitory input from other cells or from physical stimuli like odorant molecules in the nose. Input information usually comes in through the dendrites.

Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

In this article, we'll take a closer look at the synapse and the mechanisms neurons use to send signals across it. To get the most out of this article, you may want to learn about neuron structure and action …

What are nerve impulses? How are they generated? What components are involved in their generation? Watch this video to learn more about the production of action potentials in neurons.

This video discusses synapses, where neurons communicate with target cells. It differentiates between two types of synapses: chemical and electrical. It also explains the role of the synaptic cleft, …

Many different types, broadly categorized with respect to their shape or their function. Motor neurons, interneurons (AKA relay neurons) and sensory neurons are the traditional classifications with respect …

Wait. So how do the dendrites even respond to a signal. and what would be the defintion of a signal if you are dealing with neurons?

Brain cells called neurons send information and instructions throughout the brain and body. The information is sent via electro-chemical signals known as action potentials that travel down the length …
